    Okay, what do you say to people who insist on calling straight people cis gendered, when they’re told/asked not to?

      A) Straight is sexual orientation. It has nothing to do with being cisgender. B) Cisgendered is the etymologically correct term to use for someone who isn’t transgendered. C) If someone has a good faith non-disparaging preferred term for themselves other than cisgendered, then by all means use that
